Day of thanks
The National Day of Thanks on May 27 will give an opportunity for all Australians to give thanks for the many people who make their lives worth living. The focus this year is on education, not just in our schools and other areas of formal education, but in learning from our elders, our churches, our families, friends and neighbours.
A Giving Thanks Service will be held at Mittagong Uniting Church from 10am and all are welcome. The first school in Mittagong was actually housed during the period 1865-1879 in what is now the Uniting Church. Miss Robyn Tomlin, principal of Douglas Park Primary School and Marilyn Horton, will speak on this subject during the service.

Bible lessons
Casual, flexible and free seminars on learning to read the Bible effectively are available at the Loseby Park community hall each Sunday from 9.15am to 10.15am. The Highlands Christadelphians currently offer a continuous series of seminars designed to help people learn how to understand the Bible for themselves. No attempt is made to teach doctrines. This is more like a "How To" guide with hints on how to allow the Bible to interpret itself. The small group currently attending includes people from 18 to about 50 years of age. It is informal, and participants are invited to contribute their questions, or simply listen to the others. All are welcome. No bookings are necessary. Come and go as you wish. Come every Sunday if you wish, or just once to find out how it works. The seminars are not held during school holidays. Details: 0490 839 141.
